In a speech to the Israeli Knesset last week he insinuated that the Democrats were appeasers and compared them to those who knuckled under to Adolf Hitler. Critics have argued that the comparison is ridiculous. Neville Chamberlain, the British Prime Minister, was accused of appeasement not because he tried talking to Hitler, but rather because he failed to act when the German leader invaded Poland and Czechoslovakia. These critics--including myself--have suggested that Bush is an idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about.
As it turns out, nothing could be further from the truth. Bush is apparently very familiar with the NAZIs. After all, his grandfather, Prescott Bush, helped construct the German war machine in the 1930's.
Yes, it's true: Part of the Bush family fortune was derived from doing business with Adolf Hitler's government. Since our fearless leader saw fit to bring up the the Nazis in front of the Israeli parliament, one has to wonder why he innocently omitted that tiny little detail.
